klaus had been keeping a close eye on the doppelganger and her friends, well, not really, he mostly just payed attention to jacqueline myers, the sarcastic girl who seemed to be scared of him, but too stubborn to show it.
he was infatuated with her, she seemed to be literally the perfect girl, she was beautiful, smart, kind, and cute. he needed time to actually speak with her, you can only know so much from just stalking a person.
jackie was in her childhood home getting ready for school in the morning. all her friends were seniors which meant she was the only one not going to college next year. though she had her whole life planned out for her already, she would go to whitmore college, and become a nurse. that's what her mother wants—even though she does like helping people, she wasn't interested in all of that like elena gilbert.
jackie's mom loved elena, more than she loved jackie, everyone knew it. her mom thought that elena was perfect, elena didn't have depression, elena was a cheerleader, elena had a good boyfriend, elena was going to be a doctor.
jackie knew her friends liked her, and she was grateful for that, but her own mother? she'd rather have her mother like her and everyone else hate her, but it wasn't like that.
she was loved, she knew that, but not by her mom. her father was another story, sure her mom verbally abused her everyday, but not physically, like her dad. her dad was a powerful man, who was included in big businesses and had a lot of power.
things went down hill when he lost all of his money to a poker game, he started drinking and i think you know what happens.
her dad was a horrible man, but it still hurt when he died. jackie tries to push through it though. she tries to act happy and normal, but on the inside she just wants to cry her eyes out.
jackie lays out her school clothes and shoes on her bedside table, she was going to change but decided she wanted to see her mother before she went to bed. she walked out of her room to the living room to see her mom who was drinking a little bit too much wine.
"mom are you okay?" jackie asked concerned for her mother. she ignored her question, starting to get angry. "you know, why can't you be more like your friend, elena?" she said calmly but darkly. jackie stayed silent, not knowing what to say.
"i bet she doesn't come home late, you know she's gonna be a doctor? why don't you?" she said annoyed. jackie didn't know what to say, "i-i told you i applied for whitmore, to get that major." she tried to reason with her mother.
"just go to your room." she said disappointed. jackie nodded her head and walked back to her room, her throat burning from wanting to cry. before she was completely out of the living room she heard her mom say, "you're just like your father, a disappointment."
she closed her eyes for a second, which let one tear fall, but she quickly wiped it away. when she got to her room however, she was a sobbing mess, she couldn't breathe through her nose and her was red. "god, shut up jacqueline." she told herself putting her head in her hands.
klaus watched from afar and was truly shocked, he thought everyone loved jackie, you'd think especially her mom. seeing jackie cry, was just awful for him. he usually saw her happy and smiling. he watched as she slowly fell asleep crying.
he hadn't noticed before, but there was an easel in the corner of her room, he watched as she put up a blank canvas and began setting out her oil paints, first she sketched out her drawing, putting details, to the woman she was drawing.
time passed, as he watched her stroke the painting with her paintbrush so effortlessly, she was so elegant when she was peaceful, and not put under so much stress. the finished painting was a woman, who had her head and chest out of water, so that she was floating. he was quite far away, but he still saw every detail and hard work put into the painting.
he watched curiously as she took the painting and put it in her closet, that had dozens of more paintings, each one just as exquisite. she started changing out of her day outfit, taking off her t-shirt and then her tight jeans—klaus felt wrong watching a woman undress, even if he was a terrible person, he would forever respect a women's privacy, most of the time.
he watched her crawl into bed, she stared at the ceiling for what seemed forever. some would get bored of watching a girl do nothing, but he couldn't stop looking at her face as she slowly drifted to sleep.
making his way to jackie's room, he stood over her as she slept, wanting to give her happiness; he touched her cheek soothingly before giving her a happy dream. he watched as she slightly smiled in her sleep, and he couldn't help but smile a little too.
"today?! are you serious?!" jackie once again scolded the salvatores—with an original also in the room, elijah. elijah was more laid back than klaus, she thought. he was so fancy.
"don't fright, jacqueline," he held out some weird potion looking thing, that's what she thought it looked like. "this is an elixir i had acquired 500 years ago for katerina, this will protect elena. in which she will be dead and come back to life." he slightly smiled at the small girl.
jackie nodded at the man politely and smiled gratefully. "thank you elijah, this means a lot but how the hell do we know if it still works?" she said determined to save elena, like always. "we don't. but we're gonna take our chances." she heard stefan say, damon was pissed off with this idea, and she could tell he was by something else too.
"damon what's wrong?" jackie asked pulling him away from stefan and elijah. he looked at her like she was stupid and ignorant. "did you not just hear what the original just said? there is a very high chance that elena is going to die." he said sarcastically smiling.
"no it's something else..." she tried looking through his eyes but couldn't figure it out. "what did you do?" she said slumping her shoulders, if she had a nickel every time she said that to damon.
she tried to look stern, but damon just couldn't help a smile that came to his face. she was an angry little midget in his eyes, and when she was mad he thought it was the cutest thing ever.
"i may or may not have fed my blood to elena." her mouth flew open, and she tried to shove damon but he didn't move one centimeter; he didn't even flinch. "god, you're so stupid, you found your way around it right?" she asked smiling while he started laughing. "obviously." they then high-fived.
we then walked back to where elijah and stefan were. stefan giving her a disapproving look, while elijah has a slight smile on his face.
"ok so i get to watch elena die right?" her tone was jokingly, but her face was worried. "absolutely not." damon said at the same time stefan said, "no."
"figured." she said sighing sarcastically. "i can't believe elena daggered an original, i feel like that's such an awful thing to do to a person." she said not trying to be mean, but it was the truth, you can't just dagger someone, even if they're an original.
"well she also undaggered him so..." damon said defending her. she nodded in approval, not really thinking it's right but not looking for an argument. "so what are we gonna do in the meantime?" she asked. "i guess wait til the ritual." damon said smirking his usual smirk.
klaus had finally become a true hybrid. he was happy because of it, now that he had become a hybrid, he wanted to make more of his kind. he would seek out a pack of werewolves and turn them into hybrids.
in the meantime, he was packing and getting ready to go, he couldn't help but feel like he was going to be lonely. he thought he'd bring jackie, but she would obviously say no, he hopes he might find a way around it though.
it was pouring outside, it was rainy and cold, and jackie had to walk through it. putting her hands in her pockets of her oversized gray hoodie, she walked along the streets of the town square trying to get to the salvatore house.
she had felt eyes on her when she was alone constantly, and she felt the eyes on her now. she tried to shake it off when she heard high pitched 'meows'.
they were kittens—in a box. with no shelter over it. she walked over to the box and saw 5 kittens—who were soaked, like her. she didn't want to leave them there to get hypothermia so she took off her hoodie, which was very stupid because under it she was wearing a tight tank top with no bra—it was freezing too.
she put her hoodie over the kittens and walked faster to the salvatore house with the box of kittens in her hands. little did she know that klaus was watching her, and he couldn't help but get flustered at her exposed breasts. he almost didn't even want to keep watching her because that would be slightly perverted, but then he thought about how she was the one who was did this to herself.
she was soaked, head to toe; her hair was drenched with her natural waves showing, and her once light gray sweat pants had turned dark gray. her white tank top was also wet which clung to her skin—showing off her curves and breasts. her dirty converse had gotten a little bit of dirt taken off of them, to the point mud was seeping down them.
he thought she looked cute, despite her freezing, she was saving a box of kittens, he thought it was pointless, that they would soon die and she'll be sad over the kittens' deaths—she thought that she'll have 5 more cute companions to spend time with in their short lifespans.
she happily opened the door of the salvatore house, kicking the door behind her when she was fully in, she walked to the living room and placed the box of kittens on the coffee table.
stefan sped down the stairs and it looked like he had been crying, he had a look of determination on his face, like he found out something. he looked down at the box that had soft meows coming out of it, he then let his eyes roam over jackie's chest, which he could see her nipples and the pale skin of her boobs. "eyes up here, what the hell happened?"
"damon got bit by a werewolf, klaus has the cure i have to go now. stay here, i'll deal with this later." he said trying hard to keep his eyes on her face and not her breasts. "i'm coming with you,"
"no you're not." he said said quickly, not having time for this, his brother was dying. "stefan your brother is dying, you do not have time for this. i am coming and that's final." she said seriously, which was very rare for her since she was normally goofy and humorous.
he thought for a while before deciding that it was too much of a risk, klaus could kill her almost effortlessly. "no." he had saw a look in her eyes that he hadn't seen before, a look with mixed emotions but mostly anger. "stefan, i'm going!" she yelled for the first time.
sure she had "yelled" at damon and him, but it was more of scolding and motherly. this was something else, she was going to come and nothing could change her mind, he was running out of time.
"fine." he sped to his red vintage car and started it. jackie following shortly with the box of kittens in her hands. stefan rolled his eyes at her sudden mood swings, "let's get this show on the road." she said playing with the kittens. stefan was still shocked that one second she was yelling at him, and the next she's baby talking with the kittens.
i guess that's jackie.
